Bio
Hamza Farooq. AI engineering practitioner. Co-authored 2026-04-28 Lenny's Newsletter guest piece taxonomizing agent backlogs into three structurally different systems with order-of-magnitude different build costs.
Identity not yet verified beyond their cited work.
Operating themes
- Three classes of agents, deterministic automation, reasoning-and-acting, multi-agent networks, each with different cost bands.
- Tag the loop class before resourcing, averaging "agent" cost mis-resources roadmaps.
Cards
- Agents come in three classes, tag each loop or under-resource it, Agents come in three classes, tag each loop or under-resource it [Tier B]
